We all think twice when we need to “put ourselves out there.” To risk disappointment – or loss of stature. In love, there really is no choice. Take the plunge – it’s usually a pretty quick “read” anyway. If you’re in love, there is no fear. Love casts out fear. What are the steps to letting love blossom? Start with acceptance for who they are – and who we are. Acceptance of their friends and family – just as they are. Be open to having them meet your friends and family….sooner than later. So be a risk-taker. But be responsible – put your best foot forward. Once you put yourself out there, don’t be too pushy. Give the other person room. After all, they’ve also put themselves out there!
